Gas Stove & Hob Repairs: Ensuring Safe and Instant Ignition

 

Gas appliances offer instant heat and greater control, making them favorites in many Durban households. They require specialized, certified knowledge for safe and effective repair. Our gas technicians are fully certified and compliant with South African safety regulations, reinforcing our Trustworthiness.

  • Ignition System Failure (Gas Hob Not Sparking): If you hear the clicking sound but don’t see a flame (a common gas hob repair issue), the fault is often a dirty, misaligned, or faulty igniter/spark electrode or the ignition module. We ensure instant, reliable ignition, getting your hobs firing up instantly.
  • Faulty Gas Valves and Regulators (Inconsistent Flame): A burner that produces a weak, yellow, or inconsistent flame, or a hob that struggles to maintain a steady temperature, may have a problem with the gas valve or regulator. Our priority is to ensure safe and regulated gas flow for optimal performance and efficiency.
  • Gas Leak Detection and Repair (The Critical Safety Service): IMMEDIATE DANGER! If you suspect a gas leak (a faint, noticeable smell of rotten eggs), STOP USING THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY, turn off the main gas supply if safe, ventilate the area, and call us immediately at [Your Phone Number]. Our certified gas leak specialists use advanced equipment to safely locate and repair the leak in lines, connections, or components. Your safety is our absolute priority.
  • Flame Supervision Device (FSD) Faults: Modern, safety-compliant gas appliances have FSDs that automatically cut the gas supply if the flame unexpectedly goes out. We are experienced in FSD repairs and replacements, ensuring your gas stove meets all current safety requirements.

Electric oven and stove repairs Durban

Electric appliances are a staple in most Durban kitchens. We specialize in diagnosing and repairing the full spectrum of electric oven and stove problems, ensuring your cooking is perfectly even every time.

  • Faulty Heating Element Replacement (The Cold Oven Culprit): This is the single most common cause of an oven that won’t heat up or runs cold. Whether it’s the bake element, the broil element, or a non-functioning electric stovetop plate (coil, solid, or ceramic glass cooktop), we quickly diagnose if the element is cracked, blistered, or shorted out. A faulty element can also cause the circuit breaker to trip (electric stove tripping mains), a serious safety concern we expertly resolve by replacing the part and ensuring the wiring is sound. We carry elements for all major brands like Defy and Samsung.
  • Thermostat and Temperature Sensor Issues (Precision Control): If your oven is constantly under-baking or burning your food, the thermostat or temperature sensor (thermistor) is usually to blame. We provide professional calibration or replacement to ensure your appliance maintains the precise temperature required. Our technicians have years of experience ensuring temperature accuracy, vital for complex tasks like baking.
  • Control Board & Timer Repair (The Appliance’s Brain): Modern ovens, especially Bosch and Smeg models, rely on electronic control boards. Malfunctions here can result in non-responsive touchpads, flashing or static error codes (like F1, F2, F3), or an oven that won’t turn on or off. As specialized experts, we safely diagnose and repair or replace these complex circuit boards, offering a cost-effective alternative to full unit replacement.
  • Door and Seal Repair (Energy Efficiency Focus): A cracked inner door glass, a misaligned hinge, or a worn-out oven door gasket (seal) is an energy drain. A poor seal allows heat to escape, drastically increasing cooking times and, crucially, driving up your electricity bill (a major concern with rising KZN energy costs). We replace seals and repair hinges to ensure a tight, energy-efficient seal for your built-in oven.
